Shamu, one factor may be the bore diameter. The F51 barrel in my Savage is practically new. My Parker Hale .30300 bore gage will not enter the breach or muzzle ends of the barrel. I suspect it is about a .302 bore. This bullet with the wide cannelure may not stabilize in a larger bore as it enters the rifling. Just my guess....
